STOVE ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented M'ay 1917.

Application filed April 5, 1916. Serial No. 89,208.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, LUCY MORGAN, a citizenof the United States residing at Peck,

in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Stove Attachments, of which the following isa specification.

The present invention has for its object the provision of a simplearticle of manufacture designed as a protector or shield constituting anattachment for oil stoves or the like and by means of which the stoveglobe and flame are protected against the result of stove. It has beenmy aim to, produce an article of this type such that it may be readilyattached and detached .from operative position and of a material andform permitting the article to beeasilycleaned.

With the above and other objects in view, this invention consists in.the construction, combination and arrangement of parts all ashereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in theaccompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary view of a heating device havingmy protectiveshield applied thereto;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the shield member; and

Fig. 3 is an enlarged view showing a detail of the globe engagingflange.

"Throughout the following detailed description, and on the severalfigures of the drawing, similar parts are referred to by like referencecharacters.

Referring to the drawing A designates the globe portion of aconventional type of heating stove and B the support for cookinguteiisils arranged above the globe. globe A is provided with an openingto permit of the passage of heatfrom the stove to act upon a cookingutensil C arranged on the support above said opening.

In constructions of heating devices of this character it is not unusualthat the foodstufi's boil over and run down upon the stove globe withthe result that the enamel or. finish of said globe is soiled and soafiected as to make said globe unsightly. Such contact of the boilingmaterial with the lobe causes the finish of the body to peel o, and theisinglass of the globe door is very inaterially afiected by suchaccidental happen The ing. It is with a view to overcoming these.-

disadvantagcs that I have provided the simple attachment whichconstitutes the subject matter of my invention.

Said invention consists of a shield 1 which is substantially ofdish-shape and is of a greater diameter than the stove globe A withwhich it is adapted to cooperate. The shield is provided with a centralopening which coincides substantially with the size of the opening ofthe stove globe A and the.

material of the shield, inthe formation of the opening, is first bentupwardlyas indicated at 2 to form an upstanding annular flange, and thendownwardly to form an inwardly projecting or depending flange 3. Inattaching the shield to the stove globe the flange 3 is engaged in theopeningof said globe and thereby adequately held from accidentaldisplacement during its use. The bending of the material as indicated at2 is an important feature inasmuch as the flanging in this manner tendsto prevent the overflowing foodstufi from running into theopening of theshield and the stove globe which would result in putting out the flameof the oil stove, or at least afi'ecting said flame in a materialmanner. The rounding of the surface of the shield and its projectionfrom the body of the globe A prevents ncath the edge of the opening ofthe stove globe and tend to prevent accidental displacement'of theshield from its operative position. I

it will be apparent from this dcscriptihn that the article h ereinbeforereferred to may be cheaply inanidactured of suitable sine and generalconfiguration :to it different types of stores and said article forms aneatto a stove globe provided with a top opening comprising an invertedsaucer-shaped deflector having a heat opening centrally thereof, theedge of said opening being formed 5 with an approximately verticaldownwardly extending flange with a slitted portion therein bentmatwardly and then inwardly to form a resilient retaining member for eng1: gement with the edges of the globe opening.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

LUCY MORGAN.
